Firefox is pissing me off

[def1]

I just checked every single game on my site in ie and they work fine but in firefox only like 5 work.

Does anyone know what this could be

This one works:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.funny-base.com/games1/samuraispirit.swf">
<embed src="http://www.funny-base.com/games1/samuraispirit.swf" width="550" height="375"  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>

This one doesn't:

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" height="550" width="450" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="http://media.ebaumsworld.com/simon.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
</object>

Can you notice the difference here? I'll give you a hint.

The second one should read:

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" height="550" width="450" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="http://media.ebaumsworld.com/simon.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
<embed src="http://media.ebaumsworld.com/simon.swf" width="550" height="375"  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</object>

Problem solved.

p.s. Don't ask me why Firefox needs this, who knows whether it's right or not?

Well.. I hope you got it right.!

If not, I think I can help you.!

Firefox is strictly standard compliant while IE uses many features only provided by IE itself

While checking out the games, I noticed that many of them are loaded from ebaumsworld.com and other sites. You are stealing the bandwidth from these sites, which is very unethical.

I found some of the ebaums ones from www.freecodesource.com so I didnt think anything of it to get more. Plus I recently emailed ebaums about it.

Remember that FF renders it correctly, your code is wrong!

I remembered there being patches that makes FF work 99% like IE, except for its functions and abilities like pop-up blocking (the 1%!)

I second what the computer geek said : "Remember that FF renders it correctly, your code is wrong!". If you check your games in Opera , Safari or any other decent browser it probably won't work either. FF is right , IE is wrong no matter how hard it tries to fool you into thinking it's doing the right thing.

That gotta be a horrible patch..
